Access 2003 and Access 2007 on same machine

Greetings.

I want to run the two versions of Access on the same machine (2003 &
2007). I still need 2003 for most of my work, yet I need to start
learning 2007. In my previous attempts at this, right after the
release of 2007, I had problems with the installation dialog running
every time I switched versions. Along with file association issues.

I was hoping to find a work around to this, assuming that 8+ months
later there would be a viable work around to this. Surely I am one of
many developers that want to do what I am doing.

Alas, after searching all over the web tonight, the solutions I found
are just not acceptable. Among them are using Windows Virtual Machine,
using a different machine for each version, dual booting, and "just
live with it". There was one suspect looking registry tweak that would
allegedly work, but most of the responses to the post said it didn't.

Has anyone found a way to accomplish this? All I am looking for is a
hassle free way of running both on the same machine. This was easily
done with any combo of the previous Access versions. Is this flaw
something that Microsoft will one day address? Perhaps this is a
"forced upgrade".

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Dennis
